>> whether it's a real video the threat is real and that's what's the president is talking about. that's what the president is focused on is dealing with those real threats. and those are real no matter how you look at it. >> the woman who posted the tweets is 31-year-old jayda fransen the leader of the group britain first. she has been arrested twice since last year accused of harassment of muslims and was convicted of abusing a woman wearing a hijab. these tweets come as the president attempts to push tax cuts through congress and when north korea tested a powerful ballistic missile. this brings us closer to war. ellison barber reports. reporter: good evening. republican senators on capitol hill are getting closer to a vote on tax reform. a couple of hours ago they voted in moving in favor of

debate on the bill so there will probably be a vote on the senate tax reform plan by friday. whether it will pass is up in the airport the spread making a big push for it. >> not enough for the middle class to keep getting by. we want them to start getting way ahead. >> reporter: today in missouri, the president urging lawmakers to vote in favor of the republicans' tax reform bill. the senate is expected to vote on their version by the end of the week despite hesitancy from some republicans. democrat are warning the president he will need their help to pass it. >> they have this unique ability to, um, lock us out of the room and then cry that we're not at the table. >> reporter: all this as north korea remains a headache for the administration. the president promising more sanctions after the regime seemingly tested a new kind of intercontinental ballistic missile. >> it went higher, frankly, than any previous shots they

have taken. >> reporter: unsettling figures from what north korea is calling a successful launch. the missile went some 2800 miles high and traveled nearly 600 miles. that could put most of the u.s. mainland within striking distance and could mean north koreans are further along in developing their technology than previously thought. >> we either have to decide that we are going to use military force to destroy this nuclear weapons program or we better be prepared to live with north korea with a capability to drop nuclear weapons on any american city. >> reporter: president trump says he spoke with the chinese president earlier today. he tweeted that he told the president the situation will be handled. that's what we heard him tell cameras yesterday at the white house, as well. >> ellison barber in washington, dc tonight, thank you. shock across the nation this morning as we learned that "today" show host matt

lauer was abruptly fired late last night over allegations of sexual misconduct after more than 20 years at nbc. the alleged victim is a colleague at the network. she told executives on monday about inappropriate sexual behavior that reportedly began at the 2014 sochi olympics. nbc news president andrew lack said this was the first complaint against lauer. but lack also said in a memo that there was reason to believe it was not an isolated incident. . >> we are devastated. >> matt lauer was a fixture of the franchise, a face of nbc news. >> tonight, variety is reporting at least three women are making sexual harassment allegations now against lauer. they did not want to be identified but told variety they complained about lauer to the network for years but were ignored. matt lauer who is married with three children has had no public comment so far. also today, lock-time radio host garrison keillor says he has been fired by

minnesota public radio over accusations of improper behavior. the creator of a prairie home companion says the incident involved putting his hand on a woman's bareback in an effort to console her. keillor says he apologized at the time and said they remained friends. keillor also said at age 75, he has no interest in arguing about this. joining us is our political expert. it seems like every day we are seeing accusations against some prominent figure and we have seen some of those members in congress are among those accused. are we going to see more members of congress and the state legislature accused in the coming days? >> reporter: yeah, what we'll see over the next couple of days and weeks is more members both in congress and in sacramento being accused of such behavior and this is a challenge for leaders. leaders like nancy pelosi in relation to john conyers of michigan. leaders like speaker anthony rendon in sacramento. because the leaders are going to want to put this behind them and move forward on the

midterms. it's taken democrats off message in sacramento and d.c. more members will be accused of misconduct. >> there a double standard? we saw louis ck lost his job, kevin spacey, matt lauer was fired but yet in congress, we -- >> we go to an ethics investigation. yes, there is a double standard. politics is treated differently. it shouldn't be treated differently but absolutely the voters at the voting booth are also held to account for this but it really is treated differently even though the behavior is just as important. >> let's talk about tax reform. republicans really need a win here. intense pressure for victory. senators are expected to debate up to 20 hours before taking a vote. are they making progress? >> reporter: yeah. so what you see so far is there were a few holdouts on tax reform. they were on an island. but they are really off that island so far. people like ron johnson of wisconsin or jeff flake of arizona, or even bob corker of tennessee, they have all come around and so as a result, republicans have a push. they will be able to pass this in the senate. that will give them to go to conference or not.

maybe the house votes on the same package but nonetheless, what that means is the republicans in the congress are going to get a legislative victory. that's a big victory for president trump heading into the new year. >> do you think senator susan collins of maine could be a linchpin? >> yes, her and murkowski is a holdout. rand paul has come around also. so the white house has the votes. i think that's one reason we are seeing this kind of "twitterverse" where the president has just insulted just about everyone over the last 48 to 72 hours because they believe that they have the votes and they can turn this into a victory and he is going to ride that for a while. >> let's talk about north korea. they have just test-fired their most powerful missile so far that experts say is capable of reaching pretty much anywhere the united states. president trump said don't worry, we're going to handle this. what does that mean? are we going to war? >> reporter: it doesn't look like we're going to war. we're not there yet. we have a long way to roll up

into this. and really, war is the presence of failure. it's a policy failure. no one who is serious in the pentagon or national security establishment or allies, say in japan, want to see that happen. we are inching closer. we are not there. but nonetheless, this test of a very interesting new missile radically different than what we have seen and much more powerful is something of concern. it's going to challenge this white house to have a strong response that doesn't actually lead to the outbreak of hostilities. >> president trump promising new major sanctions following the latest missile test. some defense experts are saying that you could push kim jong-un too far. he could strike back. what's the biggest challenge moving forward for the trump administration? >> reporter: the biggest challenge is not to fight about this over twitter. that's the short answer. it's not to get -- not have insults lead to hostilities to have cooler heads prevail. that's where we need folks like those in china and in russia to do a better job of working on our behalf and we need to coordinate better in the region. that's something we haven't had in this go it alone white house that we need to see moving forward.

been like an automatic weapon because the shots were so close together. >> reporter: now, the name of the suspect hasn't been released. he was arrested but is being medically evaluated. live in the newsroom, henry lee, ktvu fox 2 news. carjackings and armed robberies in the south bay, coming up details about the arrests that include a suspect who is only 11 years old. >> also ahead, a potential for christmas chaos in the skies. how a computer glitch left one airline without pilots for thousands of flights scheduled over the holiday. >> and we're looking at a beautiful sunset right now. tomorrow morning is going to be another cold one and some valley fog possible with rain in the five-day forecast. really? really? really? really?

>> he better get used to a lot of attention because starting quarterback as long as he is the quarterback, you have to have a weekly news conference. you have to do the whole thing and, as a matter of fact, from the sounds of it, he is already getting a lot of attention on his phone alone. [ pause ] >> i had to put my phone away for a little while the last couple of days. i'm trying to focus. it's a great opportunity for us this week. chicago has a talented defense. we need to prepare well, watching film, learning the other team's defenses. there's things that we'll put in and i'll learn for the first time. so it's -- that part of the learning curve i'm comfortable with now. i got a nice little routine for it and it's coming along well. >> he just seems very composed as a quarterback has to be. and you know, he is actually been an under study one of the all time greats of course tom brady and it's kind of interesting.

one of the reporters asked, have you talked to tom? have you been in contact with him? he said they have texted back and forth and tom, having grown up in the bay area, has given him a couple of ideas of places he needs to see and that kind of thing. but as far as he would let on, he didn't tell him -- give him any tips or anything as to how to start. and you know, tom brady grew up as a 49er fan, big time fan of joe montana and all of that. >> i think he had a poster of joe montana in his room as i recall. >> absolutely. so it's going to be interesting to see. you were talking earlier about a lot of pressure on him and he is not being supported by the new england patriots right now. you know? so it's going to be an adjustment for him. certainly a reason to watch. >> did he say anything about playing in his hometown of chicago? probably have a lot of people how agree up with being at home watching him right there in chicago. >> he is probably alluding to
